Unlikely As It May Seem (An Izumina Fanfiction)

Ch. 12: Together

Izuku felt amazing. He had slept so well last night. Better than he had in a long time. As he began to open his eyes, he took a look at his surroundings. His eyes furrowed in confusion. This isn't my room, he immediately thought, the memories of last night starting to piece together.

It wasn't until he discovered the inability to move that his eyes shot open wide. He looked down to see what was impeding him. And was met with the color pink. At first, he started to freak out, until all of the details of this pink object started coming into view. Like the horns. And the smile on the girl's face. It made Izuku's heart warm. But it also made him very wary of his surroundings.

He looked around. They were still in the common room. No one else was around. Izuku was relieved at this, since it meant they wouldn't be getting the teasing of a lifetime from their classmates. Or a stern talking to from Iida. They also had a blanket draped over them. When did that get there? Izuku's thoughts were broken by movement under him.

Mina hummed as she squeezed her arms slightly tighter around Izuku's waist before her eyes fluttered open and she looked up.

"Mornin', Izu," she said, sleepily. His face grew red looking at her, but he smiled, awkwardly yet very happily.

"Mornin', Mina," he replied. Apparently it was enough for Mina to fully realize the situation, as now her eyes bolted open, and she got off of Izuku, making a little bit of space between them. She quickly recovered, though, as she could see the look of guilt on Izuku's face.

"I-I'm sorry," Izuku said, looking away, the red ever present on his face. Mina's own face was full blown lilac as she smiled warmly. Izuku took the chance to glance and see her smile, which calmed him down some.

"It's okay, Izu," Mina replied. "Actually, there's something I wanted to tell you, but couldn't really find a good time to. But, now is as good as any. Izu, I...."

"I like you," Izuku said suddenly, causing the pink girl's mouth to drop open slightly, as she blinked a few times. Did he just confess? "I've always found you attractive. And your energy, your kindness, all of it has always made me smile. These last few weeks have really been fun, and just enforced how I felt about you." He did confess! Mina's heart was doing somersaults in her chest. Then she saw his countenance fall again.

"I just wanted you to know that," he was saying. "I know you couldn't possibly like me back, but..." his words were cut off as Mina slammed into him, embracing him as they fell backwards on the couch, with Mina on top of Izuku. She had tears in her eyes as she smiled widely at him.

"You dork. I like y-mph," her own words were cut of as Izuku closed the distance between their lips. It was his first kiss. It was her first kiss. And they both felt the electricity. The fireworks set off from it. After a few seconds, they parted, blushes on their face. But they were both smiling.

"OH MY GOD!" A voice broke them out of their moment. They both looked over to see a handful of their classmates that had apparently just come downstairs. All of them were wide-eyed. The owner of the voice, Kyoka Jiro, quickly placed her hand over her mouth, and turned, digging her head into Kaminari's shoulder in embarrassment for interrupting the moment. And then they saw Mineta's face.

His lips were trembling, and there were tears in his eyes. He was about to open his mouth before Sero taped it shut and pulled him away. Both Izuku and Mina gave Sero an appreciative glance. Taking the chance, the moved from their rather vulnerable positions and sat on the couch normally. But they kept their hands together. A good number of people had seen, and there was no need to hide it. They were together.

News of the new couple didn't take long to spread to the rest of the class. Most everyone had offered their congratulations, including Uraraka, who cried happily while hugging her friends. A decision between Iida, Sero, and a few others had been made to more or less place Mineta on 'house arrest', so he would leave the couple alone.

It had been decided that the two would go on an "official" first date, but would extend their 'plus ones' from Mr. Aizawa to two of their classmates. Now, it was just a matter of figuring out who. After a while, Izuku chose to let Sero use his as a thanks, and Mina used hers for Hagakure. At first, Izuku was originally going to extend his offer to his core group of friends, but they all turned the opportunity down for one reason or another.

As everyone was getting ready to head out and do their own thing for the day, Uraraka was saying good bye to Izuku and Mina, and wishing them good look on their date. Unknown to her, someone had taken the opportunity to look at her longingly. I wonder if I have a chance, they thought to themselves. Steeling their own nerves, they walked over to the Zero Gravity user.

"Uraraka, do you have a moment?"

A/N: Yep. Cutting it off there, because it's time for a little contest. That's right. You, my lovely readers, are going to get another chance at affecting the story (ever so slightly). I'm going to create a poll of sorts for the big question that apparently quite a few of you had an opinion on from last chapter: who is getting with Uraraka? I'll be taking these votes and tallying them. The winner will (more than likely) be the one she ends up with. Next chapter I'll be working on will focus on Izuku and Mina's official first date, so should give some time for the votes. Okay, here are our contestants:

Vote here for Tenya 'Engine Legg' Iida.

Vote here for Katsuki 'Grenade Boi' Bakugo.

Vote here for Shoto 'IcyHot' Todoroki.

Vote here for 'other' (comment your pick. I will ignore Mineta votes).

Have fun. :)
